Reception

[edit]

Dark Remains is a suspense film the like of which hasn’t been released in a long time."[3] Joshua Siebalt of Dread Central rated it 3.5/5 stars: "All in all, Dark Remains is a very solid ghost story with enough attention to detail and characterization to set it aside from its contemporaries."[4]
